All I can say to the last few pages is bennie, you are the best! 

(even though we don't like the same hockey teams  )

You got my vote on that. I even read one of her posts that was  (barely) over 5 lines long.

So Mount Union's quarterback is playing. I want to keep this conversation away from focussing on him. What do you think about the coaching staff's decision to play him? Beyond the bad optics, I can't help but feel their priorities are skewed.

This is 1 year removed from having started a receiver with an off-season drug conviction for them, so it shouldn't be a surprise. That same receiver, Hargrove, then went on a Harvy Weinstein rampage around the campus.

I THOUGHT D3 was different, but not in Alliance.

Tommies & Johnnies can agree on some things.

That's horrible. Just horrible.

In this case, it's the team leader facing a felony charge. I can understand giving the kid the benefit of the doubt and showing support for him during what must be a difficult period, but we're talking a felony charge. I'm pretty sure everyone in the Mount Union community has heard about these developments. It must be sort of an odd atmosphere in stadium. If you're a parent in the stands, do you encourage your kids to cheer for him? The coaches must understand the message this sends.

Alright, my hangover is much better now.  Just in time!

Did you do the spicy ramen? Works every time.

Thanks to the Johnnies and the guys in the booth for an entertaining season. While I might have liked the season to last a little longer, you all always make me proud to be a fan! Go Johnnies!!!!

Fasching - has to be on the hot seat, right? He's performed well, but the SJU standards of excellence (#1) are so high. Seat has to be heating up - after a 5 year run of mixed results. And a team going froward that needs rebuilding.

He is 3-4 in the playoffs, with 4 uncompetitive outs:
2017: 7 - 17 to NCC
2016: 14 - 31 to Oshkosh
2015: 19-38 to UST
2014: 10-21 to Wartburg
2013: no playoff apperance

3 wins have come against nobodies: Scholastica, Dubuque, Platteville.

After 5 years under Fashing, are the Johnnies any further back to being relevant? Sure, some nostalgic hope in the national rankings during the regular season. But 4 unimpressive outs in a row, the nostalgia is fading quickly. 

It has been 10 years since SJU made a run in the playoffs (2006 run w/ 14-17 loss to WW).

No but Jimmy needs to go and they need to hire an O-coordinator that can recruit and coach.

and the Tom$ only hung 47-8 on Eureka? I'd fire Coach GC for not getting at least 80.

FORMER player is the key word here.

Ducked us again.
NCC looked tough.

I picked NCC to beat UWO... they looked capable of that today!
